IF YOU’RE A Game of Thrones fan, you’re probably having a tough time avoiding spoilers until you get home.
It’s a tough one but there are a few methods to keep yourself spoiler-free until you get home to watch it (or any other show for that matter).
Block keywords on Twitter/Facebook
Picking out the right words is key as it’s better to choose a number of them instead of just the one. For Game of Thrones, the title is one example, but terms like ‘GOT’, ‘Lannister’, ‘spoilers’ and any word that’s even closely resembles ‘death’, ‘killed’ or ‘died’ is a good bet.
If you’re avoiding them on Twitter, you have two options If you’re on Tweetdeck, this option is already built in but if not, you can use something like Larry Filter which blocks keywords and users that you don’t want to see on Twitter’s main site.
On Facebook, there’s no built-in method for blocking keywords on personal pages so you’ll have to rely on plugins again. Probably the best option is Social Fixer which allows you to filter your news feed and hide any posts that dare speak about it.
If you manage a page, however, then you can block keywords directly through the moderation blocklist. When you’re using your page, go into Settings and click Page Moderation and add in whatever words you choose. Good if you don’t want anyone else to spoil the episode for you.
Block keywords on web results
Inevitably, there will be some sites that will offer recaps and summaries of each episode, or reactions from its cast, crew or random people. That requires you to go a step further and block browser content entirely.
FoxFilter and WebCensor are two good examples and go a long way towards shielding your eyes from any articles or updates that may discuss it. It’s worth adding as many words as you can think of so you don’t stumble upon anything that might ruin the finale for you.
And there you have it. Now you can go on your merry way and be free from spoilers until you get home.

Well that didn’t take long. New party, same old Sh!t€
“…..try and find out what happened……” Aiming high ruinua style.
After initially coming out and denying any wrong doing.FG lite showing it’s roots.
It’s OK, renua will be investigating renuas role in this serious matter.
Just like the big boys do, it’s cute.
Karl Deeter, The banks new kid from the block, I am not a fan
Renua investigating Renua, we’ll definitely get the truth about this. Just like when Putin personally investigated the Nemtsov murder
Or when Enda comments on how a Garda commissioner decided to retire….
Or KPMG investigating KPMG.
or iw compliance stats
Don’t ye just love the political system in this country.
The amount of votes that Renua got in the by election scared me. I have no faith in the electorate.
Indeed. How dare they vote for their choice of party.
And how dare I not have faith in people voting for a party I despise.
It would certainly explain the high number of votes for their candidate compared to their overall support nationwide.
FG lite same shite different names….
Ha, this is playschool stuff. Really does the guy shanahan really think people are going to believe his rubbish.
Shanahan said the endorsement was posted via his Facebook account, but “it wasn’t my decision.”
Who did it Adrian? Was it John Eardley? Was it Karl Deeter? Was it Colonel Mustard in the Library with a Candlestick? Was it John Drennan? Was it Lucinda Creighton? Was it Denis O’Brien? Was it David Quinn? Was it Paidi Manning? Maybe David Norris or the Ghost of Oscar Wilde? The suspense is killing us!
Sound like it was only him running the page. He must of been the sole administrator on the page. Hes’ now found himself caught red handed and is now saying some else had access to his account. hmmmm. I don’t believe that for one second.
It was reverse vampires.
We’re through the looking glass here people.
I would rather be beaten across the head than endorse Pat McKee. Nice chap but I’ve seen invertebrates with more backbone. I have no doubt that this was a stroke initiated by himself and his campaign team.
Good old Adrian strikes again…..
or trying to cover up!
The PDs are back with a new name and new members but its the same old right wing agenda.
Hate that.
someones in trouble now…
The Ethics Officer is likely to be Over-Ruled by the Winning-Seats officer….
I’ve been asleep for a few years and this is the first news article I’ve read in a while. Am I to assume that Bertie has retired and FF changed its name to Renua? Only thing that makes sense to me
Imagine Donald Trump setting up the Tea Party and hiring Bill O’Reilly to be their “Ethics Officer”. In Ireland.
The Tae Party
And Donald has better hair.
Is that the same as the “Judeain people’s front” and not “people’s front of Judea”, the latter which was really hated :-)
beb
have your say
